Russia's foreign debt stands at nearly 32 prc of GDP


MOSCOW, April 21 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia's foreign debt has exceeded the
pre-crisis level and standards at around 32 percent of GDP, but creates
"no big risks" at the moment, Central Bank Chairman Sergei Ignatyev said.
The biggest part of the debt is that of non-financial organisations,
corporations and companies.
"The foreign debt is a problem, indeed," Ignatyev said. "We are
monitoring it, especially in terms of borrowing by banks controlled by the
state."
"In fact, this is a big problem, but we are solving it gradually," he
said.
